Two weeks to actually do something...

Problem is, everyone and their dog now know we are absolutely desperate for players and will charge us astronomical fees which I think we all know we won't pay. We won't even pay 5 million for M'Vila. Luckily for the club they have a ready made excuse in the FA and Sam
Yyyyyip
 
How are we weaker in nearly every position?

Keeper, same.

Upfront, same.

Midfield, lost M'Villa, 13 days to replace him. Cattermole injured, dropped for Rodwell for a few weeks of last season.

Defence, lost Yedlin who didn't play all season anyway because he couldn't get his game ahead of Billy Jones. Love is a real propect IMO, looks a better defender than Yedlin albeit not as fast. Defence, lost Kaboul, signed Papy and there's nobody who knows who is the better player at this stage.
We can't even fill a full bench mate, it's an absolute farce. We have lost our best defender and best midfielder since May. You can't dress it up any other way tbh. I have zero faith we will sign any quality players never mind the amount we need. 1/2 injuries and we are absolutely screwed
 
At least short gets some money back on his 13.5m spend so far.
We've only spent 9.5m now.

If it secures us 17th place he'll be happy.


As if that's going to happen. Our net spend is about 15-20m spend per season.
How many quality players can you get for that?


Whilst still being a billionaire because of his other successful businesses.
His income is not solely reliant on Sunderland football club, you know.
If it was, he'd be fucked cos he ain't got a clue how to run it.
He could easily spend 50m on a couple of quality players, it's like pocket change to short, but he won't.
17th place will do for him, while the fanbase suffer another relegation battle.

At least five.

(if you are Watford)
 
We need to totally rebuild the spine of the team, we need 2 decent CBs, 2 decent CMs and a Striker, minimum.

Short can try all the penny pitching he likes with loans and 500k reserve players, but we need 50m spent on the team.

It's August 19th and agents and clubs have been playing poker all summer. We need a busy last 12 days of the window.

Kirchhoff was our best midfielder since January, easily.

We have a decent back up keeper, we need a striker badly and another CB. CM too but there is time.

Time is running out and I don't believe for a second that the money is there

The negativy is staggering :)

We still have a decent team but are vunerable to injuries at this stage.

We do need players in but there is time. It wasn't the 30th August the like time I looked.

It's not but time is running out. How much are you honestly expecting us to spend from this point?
